Did the writer of this movie ever actually listen to Princess Diana talk? Like ever? I don't know who's up on the screen in this movie, but it ISN'T her. Princess DIana not only had a certain sly coyness about her but a royal above-the-fray cool detachment that showed through even when asked cagey questions. This is a quality I've NEVER seen any actress pull off in any Princess Diana vehicle. Perhaps a movie star of old, like Elizabeth Taylor, could have done it, but any modern actress just shuts down and goes neurotic. Take Naomi Watts' dreadful turn or worse, the giggling school girl of Catherine Oxenburg. Just wincing. And Kristen Stewart? Sure if you think being catanoic is some sort of acting coup.They all project their own weaknesses onto her, but none of them captured the essence of Princess Diana. And perhaps none ever will.
Save your money. Just listen to the real audio tapes of Princess Diana. That's who Spencer really was and IS.
